Write your Congressman today!

The government is taking a look at online gambling again. So take a second and e-mail your Congressman today! Write your representative at http://www.house.gov/writerep/ or call your representative at http://www.theorator.com/government/house.html . Below is a sample e-mail.

Dear Representative xxxxxx,

Today, Representative Frank of Massachusetts introduced H.R. 2046, the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act of 2007. This act would legalize and regulate internet gambling at the Federal level. I urge you to not only support, but co-sponsor this resolution as Rep. Frank introduces this to committee.

Poker is an enjoyable game of skill, much as golfing or fishing. In fact, poker is one of the great American pastimes. Presidents, generals, Supreme Court Justices, members of Congress and average Americans have enjoyed the game for more than 150 years. It’s an honorable game.

Co-sponsoring Rep. Frank's resolution would help to bring Poker out from a murky legal stance and bring clarity to the government's position on the game - a game which most members of Congress play regularly! It would also allow the government to regulate providing sites to protect U. S. players and collect tax revenues from the operators, tax revenues that can go a long way in funding necessary programs like Veteran's benefits and Walter Reed Hospital.This resolution would show the current administration that Congress is first and foremost tasked with protecting the rights of the people of the United States, something that the administration is seemingly directly opposed to.

I hope that you will take the time to consider H.R. 2046, the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act of 2007, and hope that you will help Rep. Frank make this a reality by co-sponsoring the bill.

Thank you for your time,
